Paperback. Condición: Very Good. A full, lavishly illustrated study of a nobleman whose exploits became the stuff of medieval romance, once recounted in the same breath as Robin Hood. Ranulf de Blondeville was fabulously rich and powerful. He served six kings, endured difficult regime-change, fought his way across half of France and back and more than once turned wrested victory from defeat. He never forgot that his roots were Norman although his efforts were for England, where he made his home. Loyal to a fault, as a youth he was disastrously married to the Duchess of Brittany, firebrand of contemporary politics, who tried to destroy him. His second wife brought happiness but not children. He was a fiercely independent spirit with a renowned temper. Unafraid of anyone, he besieged castles aggressively, constructed and defended them stoutly and built an Earldom of unparalleled power at England's heart. Kings lavished titles on him and the Pope sought out his support, noting his exceptional leadership. On his death-bed he bequeathed to Henry III the only piece of Normandy ever recovered from the French. It was rumoured that when he died the devil himself kicked him out of hell, he was so much trouble. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Ranulf de Blondeville, 6th Earl of Chester, was, by his own declaration, a Norman. Possessing, at one time or another, a Dukedom, numerous Earldoms and Viscounties on both sides of the Channel, he owned and controlled about a third of both England and Normandy. Skilled in siegecraft, Ranulf spent a lifetime at war alongside first the impetuous King Richard the Lionheart and then his reviled brother King John. He ably commanded their armies and earned a reputation for both his offensive spirit and his tenacity in defence as first Richard and then John loosened their grip on Normandy and Ranulf lost his homeland. Loyal to a fault, in 1215 Ranulf refused to sign Magna Carta and spent the next two years as England's main defence against a French-backed rebel army. Following John's death, at Gloucester Cathedral he was offered the regency of all England. He graciously refused, and his military might tipped the balance in support of the child king Henry III. Within months the French fled in disarray. In 1218 Ranulf went on crusade where he earned a reputation as a fearsome fighter and leader, covering himself with glory and winning the admiration of Rome. Later he used his experience of war to build spectacular castles and his diplomacy secured economic prosperity for much of the Midlands. Aged 60 he returned spectacularly to the field of battle in France. He died at the height of his fame in 1232 and even Henry III rushed to be at his bedside. It was said in France that the devil himself had thrown his soul out of hell - even in death he was simply too hot to handle! By Ranulf's own declaration, his body was that of a foreigner; but surely his heart and soul belong to England. This is the story not just of one man, but of the birth pangs of the English nation. The first major study of Ranulf de Blondeville, a name once recounted in the same breath as Robin Hood.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. This is a book about sea journeys made by brave souls Italians, Germans, Dutch, and English who battled storms, pirates and xenophobia to stock our homes and feed this islands appetite for exotics and whatever we could not grow or make ourselves as we fought our way through civil war, invasion paranoia and economic disaster, as if natures own storms at sea are not challenge enough.The welcome we extended was often less than cordial, but two dozen of our ports, some cosmopolitan and now vastly enriched, others tiny, rudimentary but now among our best-loved holiday resorts, enabled our people to consume largely in return for English wool and woollen cloth almost whatever we craved. The Continent could bring us such items from the farthest reaches of Europe and beyond, leading eventually to the growth of our own trading fleet and a sense of self-reliance across our island nation.Being Englands trading partner in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries was to ride an economic rollercoaster, to face off against pirates and squabbling navies, and to suffer appalling shipwreck, all in the teeth of a heavy swell of ingratitude. But trade was vital, and it went on regardless. This is how we stocked the larder and in doing so became a maritime power. Explore the fascinating story of England's emergence as a major maritime trading power, from 1400 to 1540.
